Celtics (13-25) at Clippers (27-14) Game #39 1/19/15

Stevens would had forced Garnett to stretch his automatic long twos to threes.

If he were 24 and we were rebuilding, he would have been [dang] right 

[KeepRondo]

Stevens is always late with the timeouts.

[Chief]

Sully needs to work on his passing skills. Seems unable to hit a cutter while holding the ball.

[MBunge]

Has everyone calmed down about Crowder?

the ball is not being passed around.  When AB or Sully gets the ball, it goes up almost instantly

That's on Stevens.  It's actually worked a bit with Sully but telling Avery he's a shooter has pretty clearly been a disaster.

Good Lord, put Smart in the game this is getting unbearable to watch. No rhythm anymore between our starters.

[GreenGoggles]

I think Smart has earned the right to start.

[Chief]

Stevens is always late with the timeouts.

Im hoping its tanking and not just total cluelessness.  It's very hard to tell sometimes.

[greece66]

This looks ugly.
Turned off commentators, turned on Siberian underground rock.

With AB the reverse is actually true. He was shooting many more threes and less long twos at the beginning of the year, and now he's shooting much more of those stupid long twos.

[MBunge]

Sad but true... we looked better when Prince was out there.


Of course Smart was the PG and was getting the ball in our guys sweet spots.

I do not understand the Turner as starting PG with Crowder at SF experiment, is it to build up trade value?  Smart should be starting at the point with Turner at the 3 and Crowder used as energy off the bench.

Stevens has pretty much fallen in love with Turner.

great to watch when we start 5 bench players

Once again, tanking or bad talent evaluation?

[jpotter33]

If we get WCS and he's a DJ clone with better shooting, I'd be totally happy with that.

[kozlodoev]

Once again, tanking or bad talent evaluation?

No, just the lack of ballhandlers on the roster that are actual NBA caliber players.

[jpotter33]

Legitimately now and in the past month, Smart has been our best and most consistent three point shooter by far.
